The fire of their hearts was young (open)

[inafadingcrown]

Date & Time: Starting Jan 19th, extending a couple of days. Vague vaguery
Location: See subsections
Characters: Aged-down Galadriel (AKA Artanis) and whoever
Summary: Artanis attempts to explore Exsilium and wrap her head around everything that's going on.

[To say that Artanis was not pleased with these developments would be an understatement. She’s found herself thrust into a strange world- yet another set of customs and rules she would have to learn- told that she’s to fight someone else’s war, and then comes across a child who is convinced that she is her mother.

It’s been a long day.

So, after ensuring that Celebrían was well cared for, she set out to explore Exsilium- a task that will occupy her for the next few days.]

[ooc: This is Galadriel (although she hasn't been named that yet) aged down to sometime during her first few months in Doriath. Using the same account and icons because lol immortality. Sections up.]

He stands up tall, straighter then one may think a young elf would but it's habit. He'd given his name as that's all that was asked, he's well, not used to spilling more then that.

"They took me and my twin brother," he says that as he doubts she knows that about him and it's habit again,"into their house, after they attacked our home and our mother didn't return." That's easier to say then his mother jumped off of a cliff.

[inafadingcrown]

Our mother didn't return. He may not have said that she was dead, but it wasn't difficult to guess. Artanis softens a little, finally stepping back to give him space.

"I am sorry." She gives him a little nod. "I am Artanis, daughter of Finarfin."

[elfmutt]

Not quite, but he's not sure how to tell this stranger that tale. But he is thankful for the space so he finally looks at her a little more curious now, especially at that news which also made him angry at himself for not being properly respectful.

"My father is Earendil," and it's said with some amount of caution. He knows who she is now, and while he's not doing much to show her respect it's more out of a 'You probably won't accept it' thing than anything else. "And nothing to be sorry for, she's with ada."

[inafadingcrown]

She nods, though, again, the name means nothing to her as of yet. But she's been hard enough on the poor boy.

"I hardly imagine that my cousins have spoken of me." She began cautiously. Artanis had no way of knowing what they had told Elrond of her; likely they did not speak well of her, if they did at all.

[elfmutt]

No, no they really hadn't spoken of her, and her relation to them, outside of her saying it, is only known to him because he pays attention to things.

"They don't speak of much besides what they're teaching us at the time," it's a perfectly safe and honest answer.

[inafadingcrown]

"Then we are on equal terms." Meaning, of course, that they know nothing of one another. Finally, finally, her lips twitch upwards into a smile.

"Have you been here long, Elrond?"
